Upcoming Release: Bond – L-Nize (ft. Mark Asari)

After the successful release of his debut single, Blowin My Mind featuring Qwote,  producer Dj L-NIZE is on the verge of dropping his new track Bond.

 Instead of following the current trend for creating house remixes of classic R&B hits, new single Bond offers a refreshing alternative: Originally written lyrics and vocal melodies. L-NIZE not only produced Bond, but also wrote the lyrics. The result is a bass-heavy house beat blended with soulful vocals which give the track an R&B touch.  

A fat, grooving, synth-bassline is the perfect playground for uber-talented vocalist Mark Asari, who assists on the track. London-based singer Mark Asari is best known for contributing the vocals on the UK Top 20 Hit Revive (Say Something) in a collaboration with LuvBug. 

Bond is available on iTunes from 31st July

New Release: Bamboo Circus – Ash Walker (ft. Segilola)


ASH WALKER has just unveiled his new single Bamboo Circus featuring Segilola on Soundcloud. The track is the second release from his debut EP Agnostic.

Segilola adds her soulful-tinged vocals to what could be defined as the most classic dub sounding cut off the EP.  Agnostic has already been supported across BBC6 music radio shows and They Don’t Know Me was the most played track of the day on the BBC player this week.

Agnostic is set for release on 31st July,  look out for it…but for now, check out the rub-a-dub Bamboo Circus.

New Release: Sticky Blood – Professional

 

Andy Nicholson and Jamie Shield  – aka- STICKY BLOOD, have just released their mysteriously moody effort, Professional, the first release from their forthcoming E.P. 

Formerly members of Arctic Monkey, the duo combined their talent in 2013 with the aim of bringing the sound of the future. Setting up in their home town, Sheffield they’ve perfected their skills and focus on working with talented artists across the industry. 

They produced Terri Walker’s album last year, which was championed by  national radio stations from the likes of Annie Mac to Gilles Peterson. BBC Radio 1’s Toddla T and The People’s Charlie Sloth are massive fans of STICKY BLOOD’s production style. They even managed to raise the producer’s eyebrows at Red Bull, who are eager for these boundary pushers to record a session, set for release in August.  

Having produced drum & bass beats for Mc DRS, the production maestro’s are currently creating rhythms for George The Poet, Coco and Tom Prior…it look pretty certain that 2015 is set to be a productive year for these guys!

Review: Sir Basstoven EP

Sir basstoven EP
Devon Burch – aka – SIR BASSTOVEN has just dropped his latest offering in a form of his debut self-titled EP.

Tracks Clarity, Outta Control and Hope were previously featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC and they sure give a curious insight into the 14 track production….dig a little deeper and this producer lay it all on the table, providing the grittiest and the rawest form of dubstep. A strong potential to be a hit for lovers of this club filling genre.

Sir Basstoven EP is now available on iTunes and Beatport…check it out.

#TheMustListens: Diligence, Fallen Angel, RawStep, Rowdy!, Pressing Buttons.
